The victim chased the suspect to the front of the store, and though she was unable to catch up to him, she took a clear photograph as he left the area.

Police said that was a key piece of evidence, and they were able to identify Gavin as a suspect and arrest him.

Gavin is slated to be arraigned Thursday afternoon in Wrentham District Court.

Police said Gavin "seems remorseful" about the incidents.
